Film Comment Magazine
Chris Chang
Romantic and engaging-with lush musical detail throughout-this most enjoyable film is, in the end, a thoroughly demoralizing tale of female oppression.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
It's not clear, however, what it is that Ren Fret wants to tell us about Nannerl.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
A meandering but transporting journey, which offers glimpses of a world as resplendent as it is stifling.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The music, of course, resonates. And so does this exquisite heartbreaker of a story.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
An alternately rapturous and frustrating experience.
Detroit News
Tom Long
This is a sad story in rich surroundings that makes you wonder how many women of genius were left behind.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Sarah Bryan Miller
A melancholy but utterly beautiful film.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Nannerl is an intelligent and appealing girl who wages a dignified struggle against what turns out to be insurmountable barriers.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
There's potentially an interesting story here, of ambition thwarted and talent denied, but Fret's movie misses it.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie is an uncommonly knowledgeable portrait of the way musical gifts could lift people of ordinary backgrounds into high circles.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
As speculative storytelling goes, Mozart's Sister is ingenious but as moviemaking it's plodding.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Most memorable is the intriguing peek at frustrations that might have beset the real Nannerl, whose life was defined as much by sacrifice as by art.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
The object isn't to stir you into what-if feminist outrage so much as to let a culturally magnificent era's societal inequalities act as a dissonant countermelody to a famous artist's biography.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The cast is excellent, be they relatives of the director or not. And the music, though not by a Mozart, is beautiful.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Fret paints a speculative, intimate portrait of a family bound by love, genius and ambition and almost undone by the same.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Fret's strategy involves rigorous restraint. His film is understated, even underlit. Instead of presenting us with forceful performances, he seduces us with subtle ones and allows us the sensation of discovery.
NPR
Bob Mondello
Gorgeous, with candlelit shots looking like old master paintings - a fine match for music that takes your breath away.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
The story of the other prodigy named Mozart is brought to life with insight and a deft blend of historical fact and fiction.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Fret's film looks lovely, is acted well, and successfully humanizes famous folk from long ago.
